We rolled out SM three months ago, moving from paper RO management to no paper. We did this with older non-computer using techs and everything went great. Not looking back at all, we left Aldata Manage. We now can do all shop operations and customer communication with ease. Text approvals and appointment confirmation come rolling in.
Pros
I'v used ADP, R&R, Alldata, Mitchel, and others..........Shop Monkey is the best interface and work flow by far. We love it. Amazing customer support.
Cons
Need a good CRM to manage and reach our customers list.
Need to get the real World Pack order system connected.

Not happy with the fact we cannot get accounts receivable of history from Shopmonkey since we have cancelled the subscription. WE OWN THE HISTORY!!! THEY ARE NOT GIVING ME ACCESS THE INFORMATION TO COLLECT FROM ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE! HOW DO WE COLLECT WITHOUT THIS???
Pros
I liked the updated look of the software.
Cons
This is a software created by people who do not work in the automotive industry and do not know how a shop works.

Excellent Software

Pros
I really love the way Shopmonkey is easy to use. I have tried many other shop management systems and NONE are as simple as this one. I truly love the carfax integration, it makes life so much easier, and although there are other shop systems that also have this feature, it definitely wasn't as easy to use as Shopmonkey. In fact I had issues trying to access the carfax information in other systems. I also love the payment terminal, its very modern and easy to use. I am beyond pleased with Shopmonkey.
Cons
There is nothing that I really dislike about Shopmonkey. If I must say, one thing that would work well with the software is adding the option to not only add customer information but also company information. Adding a customer or company switch when adding a new customer would work well here. For Example, as a shop manager I work with a lot of other shops and fix some of their vehicles adding them into Shopmonkey can get complicated because they don't go by first or last name which is required to add a new customer.

Pros
The team on the intercom chat
The team has always been MORE than helpful in helping me understand how to operate this system , no matter how big or small of a problem i was having .
These 3 people stuck out to me in a BIG way, i am naming them in chronological order of my Shop monkey encounters
[SENSITIVE CONTENT]
Now i am NOT going to say these 3 people deserve a raise , because that would be insulting to the company and the individuals themselves . These 3 people need to be sitting at a table and making decisions for the sake of the company , as well as the consumer.
I make this decision based on their work ethic , their interaction with their customers, and their overall demeanor. As a small business owner / operator myself, I look for a certain head on a certain set of shoulders. They passed the tests. Do the company a favor and Bring these guys up , have them train the next generation, and set them at the company table with you guys . I would like to go into detail about EACH interaction with you guys. I CAN AND WILL justify every statement made about each interaction.
Cons
In my opinion , a " pay per feature " instead of the bundles packages . . . . . . . .i would buy more features TODAY , but the bundling is WACK
